Cruz is in a 1-for-28 slump. He struck out three times last night.
Delmon Young is batting cleanup. He has one at-bat in the fourth spot this season.
Manny Machado has four multi-hit games in his last six games, going 11-for-29 (.379). He's totaled six hits in his last two games.
Over their last 12 games, Orioles relievers have posted a 1.67 ERA in 37 2/3 innings. Brad Brach has a 1.23 ERA in his last 13 appearances since June 23, walking five batters and striking out 18 in 22 innings.
